Description
Voters should judge with the presupposition that all arguments are correct unless proven wrong or sufficiently challenged, and weigh the arguments accordingly to see whether their is more arguments (by weight) to support santa being a real person who flies around the world on a sleigh delivering presents every Christmas. Or whether con has successfully provided more evidence for whatever his stupid belief is..
Argue in the spirit of what the debate is intended to be. Also no Jews, blacks or women may accept he debate
Santa is discriminating against children of poorer families. Why does the value of the gift he gives you correlate with how much money your dad has?
So something that is false that is denied being real is an intelligent stance because we can see that the principle often times is used and used to much avail.
Such as rejecting false accusations for a lack of evidence or evidence against them to keep a person falsely convicted. A lawyer that has accomplished this for whom they're defending is intelligent, smart and they accomplish this by denying bogus charges.
Another example would be rejecting or denying a false or fraudulent service meant to scam .
To prevent being a victim of such scam, someone acts intelligent, smart, not stupid in order to avoid a fall to victimization.
They do so by researching, gathering the facts and evidence that disproves any legitimate angle involved and denying the false veracity of said purported service.
"Voters should judge with the presupposition that all arguments are correct unless proven wrong"
Well, so every assumption is correct unless challenged.
